Description Ruchika K 2018-01-26 21:39:33 UTC 
Description of problem:
This use case is applicable to openshift customers utilizing an enterprise grade external logging solution. A possible solution might be to use rsyslog to send container and host logs to an external logger (such as Log Insight). This plugin then allows the container metadata parsing/filtering. The support for this plugin is required to allow for an alternative logging solution.

As KubernetesURL default https://kubernetes.default.svc.cluster.local:443, Is it still a  mandatory parameter? Shall we update the doc patch?
